Description copied from interface: OWLParser

Parses the ontology that has a concrete representation which is pointed to by the specified input source. Implementors of this method should load any imported ontologies with the makeImportsLoadRequest method on OWLOntologyManager.

Parameters:

documentSource - The input source which points the concrete representation. If the input source can provider a Reader then the ontology is parsed from the Reader. If the input source cannot provide a reader then it is parsed from the InputStream. If the input source cannot provide an InputStream then it is parsed from the ontology document IRI.

ontology - The ontology which the representation will be parsed into

Returns:

An OWLOntologyFormat which describes the concrete representation format which was parsed to obtain the ontology.

Throws:

OWLParserException - if there was a problem parsing the ontology. This indicates an error in the syntax with this ontology document that the parser reads.

java.io.IOException - if there was an IOException during parsing

UnloadableImportException - if loading this ontology prompted the loading of an import and the import could not be loaded.
